Our Earth Day 2026 celebrations saw our entire school community come together for a day of hands-on environmental action and scientific discovery. From **EYFS** and **Year 1** planting "seed books" and crafting bird feeders to support local biodiversity, to **Year 2** and **Year 3** conducting water conservation surveys and mapping our school's trees, students engaged deeply with the natural world. Our older year groups took their learning further: **Year 4** focused on habitat conservation through "dead hedging" and bug hotel construction at Heaton Park, while **Year 5** and **Year 6** combined creativity with advocacy by researching eco-heroes and leading a school-wide "Carbon Footprint Challenge." By blending science, leadership, and outdoor exploration, our students didn't just learn about sustainability—they actively contributed to a greener future for our school and the planet.
